Reviews
Professional and amazing work ethic
"I have known and worked with Paula Colbert for many years. Her work ethic, professionalism and tenacity to do whatever it takes to get the job done is above reproach. In addition to being a Senior Financial Manager and working her way to CFO, she has also served as an in-house expert for the company ERP system including system design, training, troubleshooting and repair. She has designed and implemented programs to reduce costs to meet external industry challenges. When the company formed a subsidiary manufacturing operation in Shanghai, China, Paula developed the necessary financial controls and systems also including analyzing inventory, production data and audit controls. This was an extraordinary effort since it entailed not only a different language, but also different rules and regulations to conform to the requirements of the Chinese government. She has also been instrumental in managing both the operation and financial aspects of business set up and closure, Domestic and International. This not only includes managing all accounting functions for US and Chinese divisions but continuing to provide on target budgeting, forecasting and business strategy decisions. Paula is a very intelligent, reliable and extremely dedicated person. There isn't a position or a company I would not recommend her for."

""Paula is truly the best at whatever she puts her mind to!" I had the opportunity working under her lead and management in the accounting department for 4+ years and had seen her re-organized the company's messy chart of accounts, built clear and informative financial reports in QB that we're still utilizing to these days. She also streamlined payroll and billing by integrating API to QuickBooks. Paula is innovative and cutting edge as a CFO, she always looks for ways to optimize productive and cost control, beyond a manager, she's also a wonderful mentor! Paula is an extremely qualified and professional Accountant and QuickBooks expert, with her respectable accounting background there's no double she's one of the best in the field!!"

"Paula and I collaborated when I was in an HR role in a healthcare organization. I found her to be exceptionally knowledgeable regarding many state and federal compliance requirements affecting both the HR and Finance departments and on many occasions, she implemented processes that protected our assets and reduced company costs. She is easy to work with and is able to put finance into understandable terms to make it meaningful to all involved. Her expertise is immediately evident, and I have the utmost confidence in her knowledge and ownership in a role handling complex finances of an individual, small or large organization or corporation."
